Alan Walter Kent

Forever grateful to Alan for being Brett's Blue & Gold Officer at Sebring High School. He was vital to Brett realizing his dream to become a Naval Aviator and Officer. Brett always mentioned and recognized Alan at every one of his Change of Command speeches and at his retirement speech -- and Alan was always present. Beaming with pride. May they both continue to serve the Lord's Heavenly Armies, now shoulder-to-shoulder. My heartfelt condolences to Linda and Lisa.

Alan was a wonderful person and a great friend, we will greatly miss him.

Mr Kent was a truly gifted and committed teacher. He wanted everyone to do well and to believe that they COULD do well, and therefore to enjoy learning. When I was struggling after moving from a very different school system in another country, his class was a bright spot where I felt belonging and his encouragement meant everything to me. I've loved algebra ever since :). Rest well Mr. Kent.

A great man and coworker for many years. Fly high with all the angels.

Alan was a great friend. We volunteered to drive school bus for different sports and clubs too. He always had a smile on his face and a book in his hand to read. Rest in peace, my friend until we meet again.

I first met Al Kent in 1966, at what was then, the Junior College of Broward County. I was a print journalist and he was involved in the weekly JCBC radio program, broadcast over WWIL (which became WSRF) every Sunday. My friendship with Al gradually got me involved in the radio productions. That involvement led directly to my opportunity to gain radio media accreditation to cover the Apollo program at The Cape.

I had discovered, in high school, that my poor math skills would...

Mr. Kent will be truly missed. He was my favorite teacher in high school. He genuinely cared about all of his students and always treated us with respect. 40 years later I would see him and his beautiful bride at Dee’s and he was still the same man, except maybe funnier. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and everybody whom life he touched.

Mr. Kent was a great teacher. Thanks for all your service to our community. That was the 1st and only class in high school i got thrown out of. It taught me a lesson. My condolences to your family
